The Big Picture While the science fiction genre has been intrinsically linked to the development of the television medium, many of the most recognizable sci-fi shows of all-time contain some element of fantasy. Franchises like Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Twilight Zone, and The X-Files do contain some genuine scientific principles; however, it’s hard to consider them to be “hard sci-fi” when there are so many fantasy elements that are inherent to the premise.
Release Date March 5, 2020 Cast Sonoya Mizuno , Nick Offerman , Cailee Spaeny , Stephen McKinley Henderson , Alison Pill Main Genre Science Fiction Network FX Streaming Service Hulu Directors Alex Garland Showrunner Alex Garland What Is ‘Devs’ About? Devs follows the young software engineer Lily Chan , who works alongside her boyfriend Sergei Pavlov at a mysterious software company known as “Amaya.
Devs is unique among hard science fiction shows because of its emotional frankness; while the characters are capable of brilliance, it's not their abilities that define them. Although Lily’s investigation into Amaya and Forest’s Devs lab are interesting, she never feels like a stand-in figure for Garland to exercise his philosophies. Similar to the characters in Garland’s films Ex Machina and Annihilation, Lily is an audience avatar who has the same foundational knowledge that they do.
The mystery at the heart of Devs is able to show that Forest and Lily aren’t as dissimilar as they seem. The show’s fifth episode incorporates important elements of his backstory that show how the death of his daughter Amaya inspired him to search for scientific proof of the afterlife. Offerman does a great job at shrouding Forest in mystery up until this point in the series.
